A friend has some ps300 fuel oil he wants hauled off. It looks like it is bunker oil blended with diesel to make it less viscous so that it is pumpable without heating. Wondering if it would be worth passing through the centrifuge and burning in my oil furnace. Don't think I want to burn it in...
All oil and tranny fluid is first poured into a 5-micron bag also hanging in the barrel. The final product is pumped throuogh a 10 and 2 micron filter for use in my house furnace.... I need more knowledgeable users to point out what i need to learn yet before trying in my jeep liberty.
The best scenario for using WMO as a fuel is oil distillation, as that removes 100% of the impurities from the oil. It also removes 100% of the additive package from the oil as well. Distillation makes for a super clean product, which rivals or beats pump diesel itself.
So W85 has worked awesome for me for 3-4 years now and straight WMO for my homemade waste oil furnace for 8 years. I am now running into a problem - too much oil. I have cultivated some pretty good connections for getting my waste oil over the years but get more than I can use - have close to 9000L settling, and this is the busy collecting ...
My plan for now is to take the oil out of the tank, to the old furnace pump and 100 micron screen, into the old furnace regulator down to 10 psi, which will trickle oil through a 120v heater and into a 120v centrifuge. Fuged oil will then transfer to the primary tank. And that will all be operated off a timer of some sort.
It could be used on a oil furnace wich wont need heating device for it as long the basement is now freezing, now the chance to use it as fuel on my truck was just an extra to the whole deal. If I finally intend to use it as fuel I will probably use the heater before the FF + some additive + 50/50 mix with #2 and only on one thank.
Hope its ok to post about this stuff in this section. I have a snow removal business and have an insulated shop with no heat. Last two seasons I have used my Remington 70k BTU heater on #2 Diesel. I have 20 gallons of WMO I would like to mix 2/3 D2 1/3 WMO to start. Heater is rated to burn D1 D2 heating oil jet A and kerosene.
So when working on an oil fired furnace there exists a tool for blowing clogs out of supply lines back toward the tank. You would need to be able to flair the line and put a nut on though unless you could get a fitting on that line some other way. The tool holds a co2 canister and as you screw it in it releases the whole canister.
Some service stations use there waste oil tank to get rid of waste gasoline . you need to test for this FIRST. I use the smell test and the burn test. first smell it does it smell like gas? then take a clean dry red brick and dip it into the waste oil..take it out and try to light it with a match. if it lights easy it has gasoline in it .
The oil is heated and cooled every time you drive and then shut down plus it mixes all around and eventually polymerizes and the inside of the tank gets coated with a thick skin of polyermized oil which eventually works its way into the fuel lines and then sooner or later will clog the fuel lines and you will stall on the highway and not know why.
